I�m a Brit living in Spain teaching English because that�s all I could find over here. I like it though. I also upload my worksheets on ISL Collective, normally a day or two after I have done so here. br You can order my books by pasting this into the browser: https://www.amazon.es/Dale-Bates/e/B08QD5M5PQ?ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1&qid=1613573760&sr=8-1

Idioms about Money 2
I originally wanted to update my first worksheet which I was not too happy about.

There is a small quiz on the origins of the expressions that can be done in teams. Answers at the back. I�ll update my first worksheet when I finall...

Idioms about Technical Development
A worksheet on the subject of technical development designed for use with business English classes. A couple of adult themes are included in the quiz section, so use caution if you are considering using them in a high school although if you take away the quiz, it will be fine for under-11s. Answers are on the back.

Which one is it?
A short worksheet that I have used with production line workers who have little or no English. It works quite well and can be used as an illustration to introduce them to the concept of "one" or "ones" as pronouns. I get them to try and say what the answer is and, if they can�t, I get them to repeat what I say. Questions can then be used for shor...

What�s my line?
Cut up into cards. Give out one at a time to students (big classes can do the exercise in groups). The rest of the class take it in turns to ask questions of the student with the card to find out their job. Student may only answer "yes/no" if a beginner or "Yes, I do/am/it does etc" if a little more advanced. Set a limit of 20 questions. Can also b...

Click here or copy and paste the link if...

Phrasal Verbs about Health and Safety
A shorter than usual worksheet on Health and Safety. I plan to use this with shop-floor workers at a large manufacturing plant. Normally I use 18 phrasal verbs but I opted for just 12 with this one. However, there is the usual mix and match, bingo, online quiz (see below and on the worksheet), a text, gapfill, card game, and a short debate to cap i...
